Hallertau Blanc is a modern German hop variety bred at the Hop Research Center in Hüll, Germany, and released in 2012. It is a daughter of Cascade, developed to provide New World tropical and fruity character while maintaining the smooth brewing qualities of traditional German hops.
Brewers often describe Hallertau Blanc hops as producing distinctive notes of white grape, cassis, lemongrass, grapefruit, and passion fruit with subtle pineapple undertones. This unique crossover profile makes it appealing for both modern hop-forward styles and traditional European beers.
Hallertau Blanc performs especially well in late boil additions, whirlpool hopping, and dry hopping where its wine-like and tropical aromatics can fully develop. It bridges the gap between German noble character and New World hop intensity.
Hallertau Blanc hops are versatile across both modern and traditional beer styles where expressive hop aroma is desired.
Ideal for:
- American IPA
- Pale Ale
- Hoppy Lager
- German Pilsner
- Belgian Blonde
Hallertau Blanc pairs well with hops such as Nelson Sauvin, Mandarina Bavaria, and Citra to create wine-like and tropical hop profiles.
- Add early in the boil for clean balanced bittering
- Use late boil additions to enhance wine-like and tropical hop flavor
